Deep HIARCS 14 UCI chess engineThe World Chess Software Champion
For more than 20 years ever since its first World
Championship success in 1991 HIARCS has maintained its position as one of the
world's premier chess playing programs. HIARCS is the current World
Chess Software Champion having won the title in Tilburg, The Netherlands,
November 2011.

HIARCS is famous for its human-like playing style and its
ability to come up with the unexpected. HIARCS versions
are renowned for sharp attacking chess and a never say die attitude to
their play. In HIARCS 14 this playing style has been positively enhanced through
a new deeper search and evaluation of dynamic possibilities. It is capable of
building deep attacking positions against the enemy king and executing exciting
mating attacks. This approach enables HIARCS to play interesting,
distinctive aggressive chess while being sensitive to the needs of the position.
This has improved HIARCS in all phases of the game and even in quieter positions
HIARCS 14 is able to be more selective about the variations it explores to
achieve a better understanding than previous versions leading to much stronger
play.

As an analysis partner HIARCS is second to none with its
ability to learn from the positions it analyses and plays. This is an essential
feature for all chess players interested in analysing games, studies, positions
and
particularly the opening as it guides HIARCS into a greater understanding of
chess positions and their possibilities than ever before. For many years
top chess players have used HIARCS as an important analysis partner for this
very reason.

This combination of strength,
playing style and learning makes HIARCS 14 ideal for
all players looking for an intelligent chess partner that learns and
improves with you. A new super strong HIARCS 14 tournament openings book (in own/engine HCS
format) is also included
which has been dramatically enhanced with the latest cutting edge chess theory
and a wealth of novelties to provide a huge repertoire of finely tuned
variations accessible directly by the HIARCS chess engine.

Deep HIARCS 14 is the
ultimate multi-core/multi-processor HIARCS chess engine capable of utilising up
to 16 CPU cores simultaneously. This results in much faster analysis and playing
strength depending on your hardware e.g. on Dual-Core hardware Deep HIARCS runs
nearly twice as fast as on a single core processor. HIARCS also supports
single core processor systems and even comes with a customer single core version so you can use it today in the knowledge it can
grow with your new hardware to future proof your purchase decision.
